For my sis. May your birthday be better than this poem.

---

 

Ah dearheart, how I wish I could be with you.

You’ve brought such joy and happiness,

Seems a shame the celebrations must be few.

 

Ah little one, you made me so much more,

Taught me responsibility,

Though I’m afraid my model may be poor.

 

I miss our talks to the wee hours,

Though I struggled to stay awake,

You went on ’til my mood grew sour.

 

The way you’ve forged ahead,

So brave and so fearless,

Conquering all the things you dread.

 

My sister, so kind and fair,

You’ll always be my dearheart,

Even when you die your hair.

 

I wish you joy, my dear little miss,

On this occasion of your birth,

Sending you love and a virtual kiss,

With lots of hugs, a dash of hope, and a pinch of mirth!
